NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Metro police are investigating a deadly stabbing that happened Wednesday night in East Nashville, just one block from another violent incident that left a teenager injured earlier that same day.
Officers responded to a call just after 7:40 p.m. at 400 Fatherland Street. Authorities confirm at least one person was killed in the stabbing. Few details about what led up to the attack have been released.
This latest violence unfolded steps away from a separate shooting scene on S 5th Street, where a teenager was shot in a parking lot early Wednesday morning. In that case, police say a car pulled up, and a passenger got out and fired multiple shots. The teen victim is expected to survive.
Metro Nashville Police are investigating both scenes.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
